_________________________

Don't be expecting a flight-sim like Thunderhawk. Be expecting a vertical-scroller which plays like half of SWIV. Apache Flight is a traditional blaster which sees youdodging bullets, shooting bullets and collecting more powerful bullets.

It starts off slowly, but if you plug away for long enough it gets fairly respectable. What is intensely annoying though is that many of the ground units that fire at you don't succumb to your return blasting.

As well as firing missiles and bombs, you need to refuel occasionally. This mundane piece of domesticity is either a welcome break from the carnage (if you're a fuel fan) or an intrusion into the quite fast and slighty furious gameplay. Overall it's playable, but where's the jeep?
